Candace Owens describes science as "pagan faith"
  • I don't know if this is conservatism anymore. My Grandfather was conservative, and he was an engineer. He would have loathed the amount of misinformation and straight up lies being flung around these days. As much as his views were disagreeable, he never tried to manipulate or lie to anybody and always wanted to get to the truth of things. This is something else.

  • Chinese space firm unintentionally launches its new rocket
  • That's what happens when you build hardware out of cheese and spit like China is known for. One day it's going to bite you in the ass. The strength and engineering of commonly used building materials has been well-established around the world, and they should know the power of their own rocket. Nobody else just "loses" a booster off a test stand (except one incident in the early 1950s when everyone was still figuring things out).

  • Announcing the Ladybird Browser Initiative
  • It was fine when it was contained to an actual web site instead of infecting desktop software too. To me, using JS for that purpose feels like using PHP to write a 3D video game.

  • T-Mobile In Trouble After It Decides To Build Cell Tower That Is 'Not Safe' For Residents
  • Jesus, an entire town falling for unscientific bullshit.

    It's also not like they're going to point the antennas straight down at the school. They have directionality. I bet not one RF engineer was consulted.

    I'd like to walk these people through the school with an inductive amplifier probe and let them hear the 60hz hum and its harmonics permeating every hallway and classroom.

  • Problematic computer
  • Segmentation and stack errors are most certainly bad memory, I'm 99% sure of it, reboot and run mem test from GRUB if you have the option. The "stack" is the non-dynamically allocated space your program is assigned to run in. Stack errors mean some pointers somewhere are likely getting corrupted and it's trying to access addresses beyond what it's allowed to access.

  • Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate: 'It's a mess'
  • Why do you keep pointing out these Marxist countries and ignoring the perfectly functioning western liberal democracies with policies like these? There's literally one on our northern border.

  • Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate: 'It's a mess'
  • Why do you keep pointing out these Marxist countries and keep ignoring the western liberal democracies which are functioning fine with it?

  • Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw
  • I mean, directly manufacturing nutrients from raw chemicals is probably more efficient than going through other middleman lifeforms first.

  • People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?
  • It doesn't just cost FPS. It straight up breaks some games that run fine on other distros.

    Does it still have that feature that kills and restarts cinnamon when memory leaks start getting to be too much? I honestly had to laugh at that when that was introduced.

  • I just realized all my teachers use ubuntu
  • It's probably like the US military and their missile silos still using floppy disks. Better to keep a time-tested and very familiar system running a critical operation than a new one with a bunch of unknowns. Or like when you go to the bank, and the screen the teller is looking at is just a front end going through a dozen different layers with COBOL code written by long dead or retired people on a mainframe at the other end.

    Us end users with very low risk can afford to continuously live on the bleeding edge.

  • "You are just proving that gender is socially constructed": Drag queen slams Marjorie Taylor Greene
  • It's just a general quality of the political far right the world over. They don't like people that don't act, look, or think like them. Anything that challenges their beliefs about what a person is supposed to do is something to fight against for them.

    When it goes to the extreme, you get Nazis.

  • Microsoft employee accidentally publishes PlayReady code
  • I can imagine what they felt like. Like when you accidentally hit "reply all" and send a porn link that was in your clipboard to your entire company while you meant to paste something else.

  • China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report
  • while (tianamen_square.exists()) { for (size_t WinnieThePooh = 0; WinnieThePooh < uyhurs.num_oppressed(); WinnieThePooh++; ) { cout << "Fuck the CCP"; } }

  • Small Alabama Town Wins Lawsuit Allowing Residents To Vote For First Time In Decades
  • Does professor Sherman need to teach another lesson?

  • Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?
  • Fedora still feels like Redhat sort of to me (I'm old) and I wouldn't have recommended Redhat in 2001 either, I would have told someone to use Mandrake or Suse. Redhat was the "corporate/govt" OS and I know it's changed, but that's why it's usually not the first recommendation that comes to my mind. I still need to adapt.
